Four taken to hospital after N.C. 49 wreck

Four people were taken to the hospital Tuesday afternoon following a wreck on N.C. 49.

According to N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Greg Ingram, two cars collided on the highway at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, when one made a left turn in front of the other.

Roy Lee Cobb was headed south on N.C. 49 in a 2004 Mercury passenger car and Patynana Terrell was driving north in a 2005 Chevrolet passenger car. Ingram said Cobb turned left onto the Friendship-Patterson Mill Road into the path of Terrell’s vehicle, and was struck.

“(The vehicles) both had heavy front end damage,” Ingram said.

Cobb and his passenger were both transported to Alamance Regional Medical Center and Terrell and one of her two passengers were taken to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill.

Cobb was charged by the Highway Patrol with a safe movement violation. The names of the passengers involved in the wreck were not released.
